Qiao Xi vaguely heard the conversation between the two of them and heaved a sigh of relief. If they did not come down, she could at least hide for a while longer. However, she was also clearly aware that the rain was getting heavier and she was injured. If she did not leave, even if she did not drown, she would freeze to death.

The rainwater soaked through her clothes and clung to her body. The surroundings were cold, making her feel despair.

She stood up with difficulty and walked forward in the water. She found a safe corner and tried to climb up, but as long as she raised her arm, the wound on her back would hurt so much that she felt she was about to faint.action

The water current was getting faster and faster. She could only try her best to go up to higher ground. She took out her phone from her bag with trembling hands. Although the screen was broken, it was still usable. She wiped the rainwater off her face and called Gu Zheng.

However, he was in the capital! He could not save her, but she still subconsciously called him.

She wanted to hang up, but she had a trace of hope in her heart. Right at this moment, a cold and white light shone over. Qiao Xi's entire body trembled as she hurriedly used the weeds to cover her body and block the weak light from her cell phone.

With the help of the night and the rain, she could hide perfectly, but the faint movement still attracted the other party's attention.

Just as Qiao Xi's heart was beating violently, the call connected.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Zheng…"

The voice she was looking forward to did not sound out. Instead, it was a female voice. "Why are you looking for Ah Zheng? He's taking a shower. It's not convenient for him to answer the call now. Call him tomorrow."The sudden female voice made the already weak Qiao Xi's mind heavy. She even thought that she was hallucinating. She said with a trembling voice, "Ji Tian?"

It was already so late, yet Gu Zheng was actually with Ji Tian?

Ji Tian chuckled, her tone filled with pride. "That's right, I'm Ji Tian. Ah Zheng has been very busy recently and doesn't have time to answer your calls."

Qiao Xi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and pretended to be calm as she asked, "He asked you to answer the phone?"

"That's right! You should know as well that without Ah Zheng's permission, no one can touch his phone. He doesn't want to face you, so he asked me to answer it."

Qiao Xi's plea for help was instantly stuck in her throat. She was being chased, and her life was in danger, but Gu Zheng actually asked Ji Tian to answer the phone?

The scandal between him and Ji Tian had caused an uproar on the internet. It was fine that he did not comfort her at all, but now that she was in danger, he was with Ji Tian. He even got that woman to answer the phone and show off in front of her, the legitimate Mrs. Gu.

How laughable!

"Qiao Xi." Ji Tian's voice suddenly became vicious. "Ah Zheng doesn't like you anymore. He'll marry me! He's been in the capital for so many days but hasn't called you once. The rumors on the internet have been spreading for so many days, but he doesn't care. This means that he has already tacitly agreed to our relationship.

"The entire internet is mocking you now. You spent so much effort to marry into a rich family, but you're still abandoned in the end. Instead of living such a humiliating life, you might as well die!"

Qiao Xi's hands trembled slightly as she gnashed her teeth. "You're the one who wants to kill me!"

She was still wondering who wanted to harm her. After hearing Ji Tian's words, she understood.

"It's not just me. There are too many people who want to kill you. It's impossible for Ah Zheng to save you. I advise you to die quickly and give up your position. Don't make things difficult for Ah Zheng either. How good would it be to sacrifice yourself to help us?!"

In Ji Tian's opinion, Qiao Xi would definitely die today. Even if she could escape from He Wenxian, she could not escape from the head of the Brook family. Hence, she was not afraid that Qiao Xi would come back alive to tell Gu Zheng this.

Qiao Xi held her cell phone tightly. "Ji Tian, get Gu Zheng to answer the phone!"

"That's impossible! Ah Zheng and I are going to sleep soon. If you want to die, die quickly. Don't interrupt our time together!"

With that, Ji Tian quickly hung up.

Qiao Xi's body became colder and colder. Sorrow and anger rushed to her head, causing her to almost faint.

She had been married to Gu Zheng for so long and had always trusted him, but now…

Qiao Xi shook her head and let her consciousness remain clear. No matter if Gu Zheng abandoned her or not, she could not give up on herself. She had to survive!

She took out her phone and called the police, but the next second—

"She's here!"

A stick hit her hand, and the intense pain made her subconsciously let go of her cell phone.

Thump!

Her cell phone fell into the water.

"You still dare to call the police?! I'll beat you to death!"

"Tie her up!"

A few men ran over. Qiao Xi did not have the strength to resist and could only say weakly, "How much did they give you? I'll double it!"
